Pet care experience

• Dog mom • Cat mom •

Hi, I'm Emily! I've been caring for animals for years and truly love getting to know new pets and their families. I currently have a beagle puppy named Ranger and a kitten named Rogue, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My experience with pet care started long before Rover. In high school, I volunteered at a local humane society and regularly pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors. For the past few years, I've continued pet sitting through Rover and have cared for pets in Washington, North Dakota, and now North Carolina. I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I know that every animal has unique needs, routines, and quirks. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion around, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and their fur babies, and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets!

Emily is so sweet! Tater is usually shy with first interactions but with Emily he was playful and happy!

Emily was super responsive and we really appreciated her communication. She took great care of our pup while we were gone for the weekend. We would book with her again!
